I GOT MY FIRST BOOK REVIEW!!!

A whole HALF STAR from my son Brendan (who is SO tired of hearing about my book) 😅

The book isn't even out yet (it comes out in November) and it's my first ever book and I'm really nervous and he's just sick of hearing me be nervous about it)

Yes you're the monarch's personal property, yes your legal role is to be cannon fodder, but the good news is you're nobility, so it's impossible to say if this is a bad trade or not

it's always so fascinating and heartbreaking when a character in a story is simultaneously idolized and abused. a chosen prophet destined for martyrdom. a child prodigy forced to grow up too fast. a powerful warrior raised as nothing but a weapon. there's just something so uniquely messed up about singing someone's praises whilst destroying them.

"Media franchise" can include any form of media– for example, the MCU, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Fallout, D&D, etc.

"Everything that's been released (ludicrous)" is for things like Marvel comics, the Star Wars EU, Doctor Who original series and audio dramas, etc, as opposed to "everything (normal)" where you might be done after 3 books and a movie.

Omgsh 100% yes I remember times when I couldn't sleep so I started reading a book I was into and the next thing I know I look up from my book, check the time, and it's like 4 am😭 And then I realized how absolutely exhausted I was and went to bed in a haste lol. I'll have to do that again sometime soon 😌

bingewatching will never come close to bingereading. there is nothing like blocking out the entire Earth for ten hours to read a book in one sitting no food no water no shower no bra and emerging at the end with no idea what time it is or where you are, a dried-up prune that's sensitive to light and loud noises because you've been in your room in the dark reading by the glow of a single LED. it's like coming back after a three-month vacation in another dimension and now you have to go downstairs and make dinner. absolutely transcendental

I can relate.

instead of, you know, actually reading, I’ve been searching for even more books to read. ya feel?

At some point "fanfic can be as good as professional writing" became "fanfic should be as good as professional writing" and that's caused major damage to fandom spaces.
